Here's an updare just posted at Softpedia for anyone still having installation problems with SP1.

Microsoft is offering two updates designed to resolve issues preventing users from upgrading Windows 7 with the addition of Service Pack 1 (SP1).

Essentially, customers will get fixes for issues preventing the deployment of SP1, glitches which are accompanied by one of these error messages: "0xC0000009A" and "0xC0000034".

"0xC0000009A" can be presented to users when they are deploying SP1 for either Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

That goes into mentioning that the number of open registry keyh handles for subkeys is seeing too many duplicate names for one of the two errors. The second is for the repeat attempts at installing the service pack with the new error indicating it previously failed to go on.

I saw that on Tuesday and installed them. I was already running SP1 then so I thought "SP2 that soon?!". Lol.

Those address the most common problem run into when trying to get SP1 on. That's still good reference for anyone who still hasn't seen the service pack installed quite yet however.

Here I ran into a different situation regarding having restore a system image backup prior to the initial beta release which lingered until the rtm was out. Then the correction for that was finally listed on the error information page. For correcting that you need to open an elevated command prompt and enter the "mountvol /e" command followed by a full restart of the system.

One correction I should add here is the author's name was misspelled slightly. That should read Marius Oiaga.

All those are already posted here fyi - https://www.sevenforums.com/windows-u...ful-links.html

That's even better! I noticed that's been updated a few times as well since posted in January. You may end up adding a few more even.

The page seen for the error I ran into wasn't seen until the rtm release however. With the beta and RC releases the page lacked any solutions at the time when brought to the same page.

Well i tried everything but I still get this message....

See the link on the error screen at the bottom. Click on that to open the MS page for solutions! You'll likely find 3 or 4 options depending the situation that applies.

As for the results foloowing the SP1 install here on the desktop and a new laptop the desktop issue was simply due to a restore image while the laptop saw a one shot success without any problem.

Along with that look over the information Airbot referred to in post #394 seen in https://www.sevenforums.com/windows-u...ful-links.html

That may eventually see a few other references over time but it's a good collection of what has been published by MS seen there.

Is SP1 really that necessary? If it's not, I don't think I'll install it. I'm scared it will slow down my system.
